mistakes. If You continuously see mistakes for fifteen minutes,
then do collective pratikraman for those mistakes.
People say, ‘We will adulterate the goods and then ask
God to forgive us.’ Now there is no one out there to forgive
you. You (the relative self) have to ask for forgiveness and ‘You’

Lots and Lots of Pratikraman for Unethical
Conduct
If a person tells me, ‘I don’t care about religion but I want
worldly happiness,’ then I would tell him, ‘Be honest and ethical.’
I would not tell him to go to the temple. I would tell him that
giving to others is a Godly quality. To not take away something
that belongs to others is a human quality. To be ethical and
honest in this manner is the highest religion. Dishonesty is the
best foolishness. ‘Just because I am not able to be honest, does
that mean I have to jump in a lake? My Dada has taught me to
do pratikraman whenever I am dishonest.’ Your next life will
become pure. Know and accept dishonesty as dishonesty and
repent for it. The one that repents is honest for sure.
One gives for charity, one earns money through dishonest
means; it is all there. A solution is shown for that. If one has
made money unethically, then what should one tell ‘Chandulal’
at night? Tell him, ‘Keep doing pratikraman over and over,’
and ask him, ‘Why did you make money unethically? So now
do pratikraman.’ Make him do 400 to 500 pratikramans a
day. ‘You’ do not have to do them. Make ‘Chandulal’ do them.
The one who does atikraman, make him do the pratikraman.
